Nitrogen: the ideal gas.

Nitrogen was named so because Nitrogen has properties that come close to the ideal gas. This page is about my new nitrogen machine. Helium may be a light weight computer, but the new nitrogen is lighter yet more potent. It will burn your socks off, when given a spark. The new nitrogen is a powerhouse without the pricetag and energy thirst. Here are some details:

Property Value Unit
Processor AMD Athlon Neo (aka 2650e Yukon)  
Brand Acer eMachine D620
Frequency 1600 Megahertz
Linux Slackware 12.2 :0)
RAM 960 Megabytes
Drives /dev/sda = 150 GB HDD
/dev/sr0 = DVD Writer
 
Ethernet 1000 Mbps
Ethernet Atheros WLAN 54 Mbps
IP address 192.168.56.7  
Running since March 2009  

Below, you will find the contents of the most important files for Nitrogen. These files are important for all computers and the settings are extremely hardware dependent. Read the files and use the things you want to try out on your machine.

Shrinking the NTFS partition

The disk in the eMachine is BIG: 150 GB. So there's plenty of room for a second operating system. Lucky for me, Vista has a partition resizer built-in. Unlucky for me, Vista refuses to give up more than 40% of the original space. Lucky for me, there's gParted, the free disk repartition tool.

So I get gParted, burn it to a disk and boot it. What I get is a very fancy harddisk repartitioner. Much cleaner looks than the Paragon Partition Managers I used in the past. Changing the size of the partition was a snap. gParted was over an hour busy performing the tasks. And according to the online manuals and forum discussions, there were three things that could happen afterwards:

  1. If I were lucky, Windows would just boot as if nothing happened
  2. Or Vista could complain and insist on a run of 'AutoChk', after which it will accept the new disk
  3. Or Vista would insist to ask for the installation DVD and then choose 'Repair disk'
I was VERY lucky. I had option 4: All data is lost, the operating system is gone and you need to do a full install. Vista recognized the disk to be the new size. That was my luck. So, only if you really need the extra GB's, refrain from using gParted and just stick to what MicroSoft grants you for personal use.

Lucky for me, I made the eMachines recovery DVD's this morning. In another 25 minutes the system should be back in the original state. The '25' were in base 30; it took over an hour to get the job done. Quite disappointing.

As usual, Microsoft has set new rules. The rule is: do not change the partitions others than we tell you to. Or else. And the else is rather frightening: total loss of data. I am pretty sure this is an intentional deed to discourage the installation of an operating system next to Vista.

Right now, the disk is partitioned from the left situation to the one on the right:

Old New
  • 10 GB system
  • 140 GB Vista
  • 10 GB system
  • 60 GB Vista
  • 80 GB free
At least, that was I expected, 40 minutes ago. The system has just been reinstalled. We're back at the original disk partitioning: 10 GB system and 140 GB for Vista. Bill wins. I loose. 5 Hours of work in vain.

The more you experience Windows, the more you LOVE Linux!

Today I played along with my new freshly (re)installed Vista. After I had set all system parameters, added users, disabled the Internet Exploder, uninstalled Norton 360, installed Seamonkey 1.14, performed a security update (120 MB!) and set up the two networked printers. Then I used the Vista repartitioner once more to make some room.
Then I found my Knoppix disks (5.1 DVD and 5.5 CD) and I tried both. They were nice but I could not use the WLAN card with them. Also tried the QtParted program (the analogon of gParted) but I made sure no actions were applied. At least, that was my intention.

Intention, MY FOOT! When I then rebooted into Windows mode, the system refused. Could not boot due to something wrong. Vista decided to first kick the bucket and then try to help me by starting a rescue operation.
After a painstaking period, Vista came up with a solution. I needed to login with the root account. I thought, this was a safety measure. But it wasn't. During the rescue operation, Vista has helped me by

For some reason, the Paragon Partition Manager (demo) I installed was left untouched by Vista in rescue mode. It looks like MicroSchoft makes a difference between suppliers. Paragon is a GOLD affiliate of MicroSchoft. Coincidence?

The last time I believed in coincidence I was ran over by a van!

So I redid all the jobs I already did before. I get experienced in Vista. That's the nice part. But boy, do I dislike this product.

Paragon Partition Manager

In the late 90's I was the dutch importer and distributor of PTS (Paragon Technology Systems) software (distributed by Rolf Hilchner). I sold quite a lot of PTS partition managers and for those days, these PM's performed wonderfully. Especially for that price.

Paragon (http://www.paragon-software.com) are still in business and they still make partition managers. I downloaded the trial version, which does everything but resize partitions... Still, it was as if I came home after a long journey. The Paragon eye for detail was still present. The user interface looks very neat and it outperforms gParted by a mile.

I'm now shopping Ebay for a good buy on Paragon Partition Manager 9.0. It seems to be able to juggle with Vista partitions without any adverse effects.

Got it and tested it. It's GREAT! Only drawback: it's a Vista based program (unlike previous Festplatten Managers from Paragon, which were standalone). But the software is just awesome!

Loading it with Slackware 12.2

Today I installed Slackware Linux 12.2 on the computer. A special experience.... To say the least. But we'll come to that, later on.

The disk was repartitioned with Vista repartitioner. I ended up with 60 GB of unused space. In this space I created three logical partitions:

leaving around 25 GB for something else. Most likely for one of the candycane Linuxes that are gaining popularity nowadays. All filesystems are formatted in the Slackware default 'ext3'. The windows partition (/dev/sda2) was mounted on /vista, with read access for all and write access only for root. During install, the DVD is recognized in /dev/sr0.
I chose for a full install with all packages from all sets. Everythng goes fine until the Gutenprint driver package is being installed. Here the setup program stops. I have to abort with Ctrl-C and restart setup. I repeated this three times (twice with the DVD and once with the 6 CD set). Every time it is the same. No progress after Gutenprint.

So I choose otherwise. I restart from DVD, start setup and choose full install with menuselection. There I disable loading Gutenprint in the 'ap' set. Now the installation runs as expected.

When done, I reboot the system. The LILO bootmenu pops up. I can choose between Vista and Slackware. Both work. But Slackware will not run with the current VGA mode set (787). So I have to do some experimenting and end up with VESA mode 803 to suit me best. I get the single penguin text mode. Fine with me!

I log on as root and startx. It works, alas in 1024 x 768 mode and that gives a bit of an akward aspect ratio on this 1280x800 screen. I cannot get enough information about the video hardware so I restart Vista and find out that the VGA susbsystem is an ATI Radeon X1250 and I reserved 32 MB for VGA memory in the BIOS setup. The most likely Hsync value is 31.5-79 whereas the Horizontal Sync range is 40-150.

I reboot and choose Slackware again. The 803 videomode works fine. When logged on as root I decide to install Gutenprint with pkgtool. And the same thing happens... Gutenprint is installed, but the installer ends up in an infinite loop (99.7% CPU load) so I Ctrl-C myself out of it. Strange. These same install programs worked on the Sempron and Prescott. Could it be a bug in the Athlon Neo?

I run xorgconfig a few times and after two attempts I find the correct settings. I define a screen of 1280x1024x24 and X decides to give me a brilliant 1280x800x24 display! I don't care how it works, but it does! Good enough for now!

The PCMCIA system

This laptop does not have PCMCIA slots. Still, the PCMCIA modules are loaded and /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia is executable, so it runs at startup and consumes memory. So I removed the execute bits from the file and during the next restart the WLAN refused to work...

After re-enabling the execute bits for /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia (and a subsequent reboot) the WLAN revived and worked as it used to do. Apparently the WLAN card is on an internal PCMCIA slot....

Apache

Apache suddenly refused to serve html.gz files. And many of my files rely on this format. Just like this file. I had to change a few lines in httpd.conf to set thinsg straight. Red is the old value, green is the new value, as it should be.

#
# This is the main Apache HTTP server configuration file.  It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2> for detailed information.
# In particular, see

# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do.  They're here only as hints or reminders.  If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.  
#
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path.  If the filenames do *not* begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "/var/log/httpd/foo_log"
# with ServerRoot set to "/usr" will be interpreted by the
# server as "/usr//var/log/httpd/foo_log".

#
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
# Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path.  If you point
# ServerRoot at a non-local disk, be sure to point the LockFile directive
# at a local disk.  If you wish to share the same ServerRoot for multiple
# httpd daemons, you will need to change at least LockFile and PidFile.

Wireless LAN

Stop the press!

I changed over from rc.wireless to using the WICD system!

The D620 has built-in WLAN (as most other modern day laptops). This one is very Linux friendly since it has an Atheros chipset based WLAN interface.Linux and Atheros have a good working relation; Atheros hired one of the main Linux developers so they chose for the right system.

And although this computer has an 'easy' chipset, it stil took some effort to get the WLAN working:

  1. First make sure which driver to use. From previous experiences I wanted to install the madwifi driver but it bailed out with an error message while compiling. Apparently there had to be another way. And there was: my kernel (2.6.27) already had Atheros support in the module system. The module was named ath5k.
  2. Install the driver with 'modprobe ath5k', but don't forget to make sure the mac80211 module is loaded as well.
  3. Change the files /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf, /etc/rc.d/rc.wireless.conf and /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf as shown below.
  4. Run lsmod, iwconfig, iwlist and ifconfig to inspect if the drivers are loaded and the devices created.
  5. Disable the wired and enable the wireless Ethernet devices and do a ping to a known URL.
After this is done, you need a way to dynamically change the active Ethernet device. For this I made a set of executables and set some privileges:

Script Actions
/etc/local/bin/wlon
sudo /usr/local/sbin/WLon
/etc/local/bin/wloff
sudo /usr/local/sbin/WLoff
/etc/local/sbin/WLon
#! /bin/sh

/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 eth0_stop
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 wlan0_start

echo ETH0 stopped, WLAN0 started
      
/etc/local/sbin/WLoff
#! /bin/sh

/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 wlan0_stop
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 eth0_start

echo WLAN0 stopped, ETH0 started
      
/etc/sudoers
# sudoers file.
#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command.
#
# See the sudoers man page how to write a sudoers file.

# User privilege specification
root	ALL=(ALL) ALL

# Samples
# %users  ALL=/sbin/mount /cdrom,/sbin/umount /cdrom
# %users  localhost=/sbin/shutdown -h now

%users	ALL = /usr/local/sbin/*
      

The main files can be run as root only. That's why they are in an 'sbin' directory. The files in the 'bin' directories call the WL* files with sudo. And in order to be able to do so, all users are allowed to run them with sudo prefix and the sudoers are defined.

There ought to be an easier way to do this, but for now it suffices.

/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf

My rc.inet1.conf file, to work with the wireless LAN builtin. Pay attention to the line in

# /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf

# This file contains the configuration settings for network interfaces.
# If USE_DHCP[interface] is set to "yes", this overrides any other settings.
# If you don't have an interface, leave the settings null ("").

# IFNAME[interface] to the interface's name. If IFNAME[interface] is unset
# or empty, it is assumed you're configuring eth<interface>.

# Several other parameters are available, the end of this file contains a

# Wireless LAN adapter configuration
#
# Theory of operation : 
#
# The script attempts to match a block of settings to the specific wireless
# card inserted, the *first* block matching the card is used.
# The address format is "hwaddr", with * as a wildcard.
# 'hwaddr' is the unique MAC address identifier of the wireless card.
# The MAC address is usually printed on the card, or can be found via ifconfig.
# Some examples here use only half of the MAC address with a wildcard to
# match a whole family of cards...
#
# All the Wireless specific configuration is done through the Wireless
# Extensions, so we will just call 'iwconfig' with the right parameters
# defined below.
# Of course, you need to have iwconfig installled on your system.
# To download iwconfig, or for more info on Wireless Extensions :
#	http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html
#
# Note : you don't need to fill all parameters, leave them blank, in most
# cases the driver will initialise itself with sane defaults values or
# automatically figure out the value... And no drivers do support all
# possible settings...

Printers : /etc/printcap

Since february 2009 I converted all PC's to networked printers. I installed print servers on all printers and now we can print from anywhere in the house to any printer. Apsfilter has been ditched. CUPS is what we love and use. Here's the printcap file:

Synopsis

OK, now I told just about anything that is specific and that can be hairy when your machine will not boot upto an inlog prompt. If your system uses a comparable Linux, these settings might help.
System settings are so machine specific that I cannot help you, unless you happen to live around the corner. If that is the case, this magic number '5012' should ring a bell. If the number is just a number to you, please find someone near your place to help you out.
